"The house after Dad bought the one next door and built the two into one. It shows the bay window where the fake fireplace once was--near the car. I had forgotten the carport. It came much later. The driveway was at least a 3rd longer to the garage. The picture was probably taken because of the snow--a rare thing there. There was a LONG porch across the back of the house."
